From Cacharel to Comme des Garçons, your signature scent has come along way, baby.

Summer begs for a return to innocence. One whiff of Musti, and I was hooked. It was created with tots in mind (alcohol and paraben free) but Euro mamas have doused themselves in its delicate loveliness for years.

It’s what I imagine clouds to smell like. —Athena Tsavliris

We took an scent census around the office and came up with six lovely pairs of perfumes for him and her. Herewith, our staff picks.

Marianne Wisenthal, Montreal editor, English edition
Couples who spray together, stay together. When we’re not stealing spritzs of our man’s woody Grey Vetivert by Tom Ford ($100), he’s dipping into our bottle of Private Blend Italian Cypress (from $210). Both at Holt Renfrew.

Tara Parker Tait, Publisher
Opposites attract with Parisian cult favourite Annick Goutal's Petite  Chérie (finally, she divulges her secret scent!) for her ($110 at the Bay) and the luxe Hermès Poivre Samarcande ($250 at Hermès) for him.

Joy Pecknold, Vancouver editor
For a date night, spritz  Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb ($120 at Holt Renfrew), a bouquet of sweet, fruity florals. If the boy shows up smelling of John Varvatos’ Artisan ($70 at Sephora), this relationship may have serious potentional.

Malwina Gudowska, Calgary editor
French girl meets American boy: YSL’s Parisienne ($65) is a match with the masculine John Varvatos Classic ($78). Both at Sephora.

Tonya Albulet, Western Sales Manager
Lalique's Amethyst ($110), with top notes of blackcurrant and blackberry, comes in a bold purple bottle worthy of your nightstand. If your BF wears Lacoste Pour Homme Grey ($75), it's meant to be. Both at Holt Renfrew.

Elsa Vecchi, Montreal editor, French edition
A spritz for you, a dab for him. A summery scent that is fresh and classic, Vétiver by Guerlain is made for a man, but also smells lovely on a lady. $95 at Holt Renfrew.

We love the exaggerated Balmain shoulder, but what to pair with such a bold statement silhouette?

Try slinging BCBG’s gunmetal purse ($166) across your body. It’s tough enough to play on the feel of armour, but delicate enough that it won’t compete with your powerful posture.

In fact, gunmetal is a truly versatile accent tone for fall. Dab Urban Decay’s best-selling eyeshadow ($16) across your lids and you’ll be truly ready for battle.

Last week we quizzed naturally gorgeous make-up artist Noelle Banting for insider product information.

She disclosed her love of Make Up For Ever’s HD Microfinish Powder and it’s no wonder why. HD stands for high definition and a light dusting of this translucent mineral powder hides imperfections and gives your face a final polish for day or night. For best results, apply with a soft, large brush à la Kabuki.

Don’t be put off by the ultra-white shade. The powder is so finely milled that it works with any complexion and on all skin tones, highlighting your loveliest features.

In fact, think of it as a step toward real life airbrushing.

Your Doc Martens and cropped Nine Inch Nails T-shirt hit the fashion graveyard long time, but the tattoo still remains.

If you’re not ready for the zap, but worry a bleeding rose might blemish that fabulous new backless dress, why not dab a little Tattoo Concealer ($25) on it from famed tattoo artist Kat Von D?

Super creamy and easy to blend (we suggest the accompanying brush as well) this handy camouflager comes in three shades and is great for covering up tats, blemishes and dark circles.

No one need ever know about your Courtney Love past.
